I was doing some tests where I change the AP's configuration
(enable/disable HT, enable/disable HT40, etc) on a somewhat
hacked 3.7.9+ kernel.
One thing I noticed is that if stations are associated using /a,
but I quickly reconfigure the AP to use /a/n mode (ie HT enabled),
the stations stay in 'no-ht' mode.
If I down/up the stations, they come up in HT mode.
Just a curiosity at this point...
Thanks,
Ben

No..I didn't..didn't do anything in particular to the stations
at all..just let them re-connect on their own.
Thanks for the explanation.

You probably didn't flush the scan cache on the stations before
reconnecting after the reconfiguration.
